The New Taipei District Prosecutors Office has indicted Taiwanese accomplices involved in the operation against Huang Yihao, with sentences ranging from 2 years and 7 months to more than 5 years and 6 months.
The Taiwan New Taipei District Prosecutors Office indicted five people, accusing mainland Chinese national "K" of offering NT$450,000 to hire someone to stage a fake car crash out of dissatisfaction with Huang Yihao's satire of Xi Jinping, and refusing to pay the NT$200,000 balance because Huang suffered only minor injuries.
On October 21, surveillance footage of the incident in which Taiwanese crosstalk actor Huang Yihao, who had publicly mocked Xi Jinping, was struck by a vehicle was released: a black sedan tailgated his parked scooter and suddenly rammed it. The video also shows photos from the scene, heavily armed police arriving at his door to arrest him, and footage of him being escorted away. All 5 defendants in the case have been indicted.
Directed by a mainland figure identified as "K", the suspects tailed crosstalk performer Huang Yihao, and on September 11 near his residence in New Taipei they divided up duties — keeping lookout, ramming a vehicle and filming. Huang suffered a contusion to his right pelvis; afterwards the other party obtained a medical certificate through a traffic insurance claim and sent it back to K.
Chinese Communist Party-affiliated individuals funded and directed personnel in Taiwan to stalk Huang Yihao, install GPS tracking, and arrange a staged car crash, causing Huang Yihao minor injuries.
On the eve of Taiwanese comedian Huang Yi-hao's performance of a xiangsheng (cross-talk) satire of Xi Jinping at a Taipei comedy club, he was splashed with paint and threatened with feces, forcing him to cancel the show. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office concluded that the incident was cross-border repression directed by unidentified Chinese Communist Party figures.
Taiwanese cross-talk performer Huang Yihao mocked Xi Jinping on stage with terms such as Chief Accelerator and Emperor of Unfinished Projects.
